    The trick is to always assume that a hard disk can fail, same as anything else, and back up before it shows signs. It’s odd that if it happened before but the warnings were not heeded. Mostly you are not lucky enough to get that warning.

    A bad hard disk can cause slowness (as can many other things) but if this is an external then it should only affect data transfers to and from it.

    You can’t really tell if you have malware. You can use tools such as MS’s security essentials to help protect your system. Some rootkits are impossible to detect. They can only be removed by a clean install.

    If this happened a few days ago consider a restore point maybe.

    Why did it take me over a year to phone in a problem to ATT?

    To run Unhide, simply download it to your desktop and then double-click on the Unhide icon. The program will open a black box and start making the files on your fixed disks visible again. Please note, that this program will not unhide removable drives like flash cards and usb drives as the FakeHDD rogues do not target these types of drives. Once it has finished, the program will display a Windows alert stating that your files have been restored. You should then reboot your computer for all of the settings to go into effect.
    Copy & Paste the contents of the log. Let me know if it doesn’t produce a log please.

    Hi,

    The Excel function you want is ABS()

    To compare two numbers in cells A1 and A2 irrespective of sign, use this formula:
    =IF(ABS(A1)=ABS(A2),”Equal”,”Not equal”)

    If you want help on the rest of the issue, some more information would help.
    Are there ever more than one match, say:

    123
    -123
    -123

    If so how are these handled.
    Do you want your list of unmatched values in a different location, or do you want them in the same place.

    Is this a one time or occasional process where it is OK to go through a few steps to get the results,
    or
    Is this a frequent process that would benefit from automation with a macro (with it’s associated overhead of entering code, and managing it if circumstances change)

    When you move your mouse cursor around the area where the line is, does the green line appear above or below the cursor?

    if the line appears ABOVE the cursor then a green line usually indicates

    a failure of the screen, which can easily be replaced
    a faulire of the gpu – possibly overheating – can also be fixed with some compressed air or removal of the CPU heatsink assembly and reapplying the thermal compount.

    But we need to know if the line appears above or below the cursor…

    I’ve had the same problem, it has nothing to do with your cpu, programs, software update, etc. It is your monitor. I opened the case of my monitor, and I gained access to the buttons on the print circuit board. I sprayed it with contact cleaner and it worked for a while. After a month, the same problem occured. I got fed up and removed all the switches on the pcb by using a soldering iron. Now the problem is gone! Saved my at least $100. Hope this helps. Good luck! See less
